Our Learning Journey...




Over the past two years we have been developing a model for rich learning that meets our school’s needs. Through extensive professional development, and experimentation and collaboration as a school, we trialled lots of different models and methods for effectively planning and implementing rich learning, accompanied with the use of a variety of thinking tools. We have now formed and are ready to trial our school's model for effective rich learning. Take a look...


Our focus in rich learning is to provide relevant, inquiry-based, trans-disciplinary rich learning that sees our students develop...



  • Deeper Knowledge
  • Deeper Understandings
  • Learning Dispositions
